Nicolas Babin disruptive week about Artificial Intelligence – July 6th 2020

I am regularly asked to summarize my many posts. I thought it would be a good idea to publish on this blog, every Monday, some of the most relevant articles that I have already shared with you on my social networks.
Today I will share some of the most relevant articles about Artificial Intelligence and in what form you can find it in today’s life. I will also comment on the articles.

Artificial Intelligence is Transformational because it Inspires Imagination. Artificial Intelligence (AI) environment has risen from data scientists to reach the boardroom as a pre-curser to digital transformation. Clayton Christensen, author of The Innovator’s Dilemma, a disruptive technology adds to the premise writing AI “enables new markets to emerge” to disrupts an existing market status-quo.

AI has taken off in recent years thanks to the increased computation power provided by graphics processing units (GPUs) to train artificial neural networks (ANNs), along with the increasingly wide availability of large datasets. However, data-intensive computing inevitably will face a pain point: “the speed and energy efficiency of silicon CMOS-based computing hardware is quickly approaching its theoretical limit,” explains the 2019 paper. Bridging Biological and Artificial Neural Networks with Emerging Neuromorphic Devices: Fundamentals, Progress, and Challenges.
